Healing Sands
“The Catholic church was packed with Hispanic people, and it would have been hard for me to blend if they hadn’t all been focused on the funeral mass, said in Spanish, and on their mourning.
The only person who didn’t appear to be stricken almost to paralysis by grief was Elena Sanchez. She was sober and regal as she passed up the aisle, a black lace scarf draped from her head to her shoulders. Perhaps the loss hadn’t hit her yet, but I doubted that was it. She’d known that day at the market tha...t Miguel was already gone. I just wanted to know what was holding her up now and moving her forward.
One thing I did know: it was not revenge. Not from her or anyone else in that church. The sense of deep resignation I felt there was not behind the bomb and the note. The family and friends of Miguel Sanchez were devastated, maybe even confused. But they weren’t angry.
Except Cecilia Benitez, who, with the well-dressed man beside her I assumed was Bob Benitez the blogger, looked ready to organize a demonstration.MoreLess
